Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

I'm no fan of the 12 either but do shoot a couple on the clays course. With light loads 7/8oz of #8 they are comfortable even in a fairly light English hammer gun that I have.
This fall will be my first time hunting with a 12 in probably 40 years. I was smitten by an 6lb "Light Game Gun" from a British firm. I bought a case of RST 2 inch paper 3/4oz loads for grouse and woodcock. We will see how it shapes up but I'll still be using the small bores for most of my hunting.

The rarity of 12 gauge Repros, especially double trigger 28" guns, will insure their importance in future collector interest. Double trigger 28" open choke guns will be the cream of the crop. The best of the best were the BHE two barrel sets or 28" one barrel guns. How many were there?
